<p>Juventus transfer market, Sancho coup: it's the key day. Nico Gonzalez flop, wonderful thought on the way out</p>

TURIN - It's like the moment before crossing, and a winger knows the feeling very well: that of looking around, of identifying not only the free teammate - that is, the possibility - but of understanding the timing perfectly. And timing is fundamental, because a moment before or a moment after makes the difference between a right play and a wrong one. Between a badly squandered goal and one scored. Juve is exactly here, on the line. And it is on the Jadon Sancho front : he has slalomed over all the obstacles, but now he has to get it right to then pull off a pretty good coup. Football references aside, what is still missing is the total agreement between the parties: with Manchester United something is up in the air on the contract, despite the fact that no resistance to the negotiation has been registered from Old Trafford. Indeed: Jadon is out of any future discussions and it was even communicated to him , an element that has rushed the player, from whom one registers an impatience that seems more like a brake than a help to the Bianconeri.

Yes, because Juventus is still in the evaluation phase: they also have Conceiçao on the table , and for the latter - this time yes - there is some resistance from Porto, who constantly indicate the figure of the 30 million clause to close the dispute, at most a couple of million of a kind discount. No, Comolli is stuck on lower numbers: 20 million plus bonuses , and it is the budget that would also concern the offer made (so far) for the English winger, with whom he holds firm a difference of just over a million on the salary front. Hence the decision to take one or the other. Not because they are alternatives or will be regardless and forever, but because there is only room for one winger at the moment. All about reflection. But also about contacts: a new call with Manchester is scheduled today to try to further reduce the distance, before possibly proceeding with the definition of the details with the player.

It's not the last mile, but it's still the final curve , with a difficulty coefficient that no one in Turin is underestimating. Voices from Continassa in fact speak of a certain caution with respect to the state of things, precisely because Juve doesn't want to go beyond a certain offer, even though the desire is to fill the squad with the missing winger. And who is also missing due to the resistance on Chico. The fit, here, is easy to resolve , and keeps the two players on edge, waiting for a definitive decision from the black and white club. Of course, the last desire, but perhaps the very first, is to sell Nico Gonzalez . Both for a question of technical vision - Tudor tried to give him new life by moving him to a pure winger: it didn't work much -, and for a question of pure economic opportunity.

The Argentine was a flop purchase and as such he was also branded by the new management , from which different visions emerge for the wingers to be handed over to Igor. So, how much to get? The right price could be 30 million euros, although Juve is hoping for a small increase. Much, if not everything, will depend on the type of market that will develop around Nico, proposed several times in the various market synergies tested around Europe. It was a point of comparison with Manchester United, for example. There was talk with Marseille. And the last lead could take him to Saudi Arabia , perhaps in the discussions started with Al Hilal, also interested in Dusan Vlahovic . It could be a solution that can truly satisfy all parties involved: the player could maintain economic standards that are difficult to achieve elsewhere, while Juventus could instead attempt a double with Sancho and Conceiçao before it is too late and the transfer market takes the direction of regrets.

Regarding the timing: a factor to underline is the change of scenario on the Portuguese starting from the beginning of next week, in which the player's termination clause will go from the 30 million requested today to 45 in total . It is difficult to imagine that at that point a round of suitors could be unleashed that would worry Comolli. And the club's game could become exactly this: hold firm, but be ready. Both on the Chico front and on the Jadon front. Hoping that no one takes advantage while at Continassa they are intent on watching the hourglass . And hoping that Jorge Mendes' web is able to produce another advantage. With each passing day, however, Juve paradoxically feels stronger. And now it could become Sancho's day , the one in which to put the deal on ice and then complete it once the clouds of uncertainty have disappeared. We will know more in these hours.
